Roll of the dice?
Voting?
Culture outside of politics? (Anime vs SV)
(Don't say because the board is called /pol/ because it was /new/ before that.)
One isn't afraid to share their views and the other is. Reddit is proud of their political stance, 4chan isn't. It also helps that they don't post child porn on their website.

4chan isn't conservative. It's contrarian with a libertarian bent (due to the sheer amount of literal autists that post here).

I feel like Reddit is definitely libertarian and autistic as well.
You could say reddit is also contrarian since they were huge into edgy shit (watch people die) and "movements" like Occupy when it first started.
There is definitely a liberal VS conservative thing going on.
>>76056258
On 4chan you can speak your mind freely withought censorship and anonymously. Pol and int are the least anonymous because they show your flag but thats as much as you can find oit about a poster. Reddit is heavily moderated and isint very anonymous.
Reddit is eternally cucked and censored by SJW moderators. Admins don't care and are in on it, too.

>>76056666
Satanic quads of truth, based esti.
>>76056258
Forums with less moderation and less ability to shut out dissent will trend towards right wing ideas. Reddit is structured to reward groupthink and keeping with the status quo, add in zealous left wing mods and it's not surprising it's a cesspool
>>76056666
Well, with numbers like these how could I argue?
>>76056699

>Why is Reddit Liberal and 4chan Conservative?
Same reason Tumblr is reactionary left and 4chan is reactionary right with Twitter perfectly split.
The three platforms operate on signal loudness while Reddit operates on signal acceptability.
If it's outrageous it gets boosted, if it's centrist it gets buried.
4chan is about message, therefore it's male.
Tumblr is about identity therefore it's female.
Males are right, women are left.
Reddit pre-selects so it reflects the mainstream, which is left.
>>76056638
r/european was killed off a while ago. Gone the way of r/coontown. Oh god, how I miss r/coontown. The only reason to go to reddit. Well, that and r/fatpeoplehate.
>>76056486
Liberals can trigger conservatives.
Conservatives can trigger liberals.
Still doesn't explain the clear slants in left/right.
>>76056523
Reddit is borderline anonymous. And they don't seem to think too fondly of identity politics.
>>76056526
Why?
>>76056532
So is reddit.
>>76056584
Reddit is as moderated as the individual board. Anyone can make a subreddit with pretty much no rules. Also, how does this lead to left vs right?
>>76056620
The right leaning is very obvious.
>>76056666
They're just forums.
>>76056676
Then reddit should be very conservative, since they're discussions can go on for weeks while a 4chan thread lasts an hour.
>>76056737
Interesting.

I was following you until you got to this part.
How is liberalism "mainstream"? The House and the Senate are both Republican controlled.
Reddit is a corporation that has advertisers to pander to so they need to police everything. 4chan only has tentacle grape juice ads and was run from servers in thr back of moots van for some time.
>>76056258
Heavy handed moderation breeds leftism
>>76057083
>they need to police everything.
Except they don't.
Go make a subreddit right now. Call it pol2.0. Let /pol/ content be posted there
>>76056258
Oldfag of early 06, 4chan moved to right as it became more popular. I would say 07-08 was the eternal september era and 2010-11 was the breaking point. 4chan in 03-07 was dominated by a particular subgroup, who was mostly into weird shit and mostly belonged to middle to upper class urban-suburban westerners. and those households tend to be left leaning-liberal
As 4chinz became more popular more people came to this place, many outside from the group that I mentioned above. Lower-middle class, bluecollar households, foreigners etc etc. However this was also the time of 08-09 when dubya ruined the conservative reputation and we had the 08 crisis. So most of the folk identified themselves as libertarian. Even though they were socially conservative themselves. Anyways, libertarianism was just a fad and nowadays people are returning to the good old social conservative-right wing populist ideology they were holding from the start.
In short, it is just a demographical shift. People like to say "4chinz is contrarian, if republicans get elected we will just shit on them" but I don't buy it. This place will remain conservative no matter the outcome of the election.
>>76057006
>republican automatically means right
Are you a teenager or something? How new do you have to be to think party means anything as far as political spectrum? The whole of the fucking Republican party is against Trump, pro-immigration, and pro-status quo. They've surrendered our rights one by one for over 50 years.
>>76056258
>>76057115
And leftism cannot survive without heavy handed moderation, which is why /co/ is tumblr.
>>76056638
They shut european down though
And europe is one of the strongest policed subs, I get banned after every two posts or so.
>>76056258
Doesn't matter what sub reddit you go to, you say one thing in a post that isn't politically correct, and you get down voted and tons of replies asking you to not be so offensive. Your argument could have nothing to do with political or racial things, but if you say one thing liberals don't like, you 10 SJWs coming out of the woodwork at you. It's insane. You can't carry on a normal conversation on reddit.
>>76057132
this look at the conservatives in the uk its the same shit they have thrown in with the rest of the liberal parties
>>76057132
The Republican party and Trump both disagree on a few things, but they are both obviously right leaning.
>>76057279
The Republican party is only Right fiscally. There hasn't been a real socially conservative platform since the 80s because they were cucks. They only put on a show about being socially conservative. They would sell their mothers into slavery if it meant they got to stay in office.
>>76057128

What kind of shill are you?
Do you ever go outside of /pol/?
e.g. /tv/ is even more liberal than leddit and modded by SJW shills and /b/ is full of non-stop tranny porn and other degeneracy etc.
/pol/ is the last stand of what 4chan used to be
the entire internet has been taken over by SJW shills
>>76057129
That doesn't explain why reddit is liberal though.
It seems like reddit had the exact same growth pattern
>>76057235
It's honestly not that different here. You say one politically incorrect thing and instead of downvoting they'll mass report you and one of the faggot liberal mods like niggerwood will ban you.
>>76057352
I am only 23 yeah so I was only 7 back when you were shitposting.
>>76056936
rip fat people hate
>>76057350
I suppose. But you can have a right-wing subreddit that's very popular. Look at The_Donald for example. Sure, they don't post horribly offensive things, but it's right-wing nonetheless. Why hasn't a large right-wing sub taken off before (that wasn't aimed around hating some group)
>>76056938
Reddit is different from 4chan as Reddit's political moderation censors incorrect statements. Reddit is also different from 4chan in upvote/downvote enforcing group think. This place is also group think but the popular opinion is not always idealistic in other words, real world.
>>76057421
Yeah but if you stick to /pol/, the only board on this website not infested by faggots, you are okay.
>>76057129
I think it was more a shift of ideas than demographic. You're right that 4chan was very liberal in de 2000's, shitting on Bush and the USA all the time. Now that we have seen what happened to Europe people on 4chan have become more rught wing. It was middle class suburban kids then, it's middle class suburban kids now.
>>76056258
It comes down to their Karma and name systems.
All liberals and "progressives" care about is their image. They want to be known as "good" or "progressive" people and they will lie cheat and steal to be perceived that way.
When no one knows who you are and you gain nothing from pretending, there's no incentive to.
>>76057477
The_Donald is a /pol/ machination. It would have never happened without the memes and crossposting.
>>76056258

I actually had the misfortune of having lunch with lowtax once as my boss at the time was one of the targets of his HILARIOUS proto-memes.
I'm sure half the goons on the forum would have sucked me off for the opportunity to trade places but the guy was extremely dislikable and talked about himself for an hour straight.
>>76056258
Because "Liberals" aka Collectivists crave power structures and use of power towards censorship and enforcement, things they can not do nearly as effectivelly in 4chan.
Thefore 4chan wins with normal individualistic socially conservative people.
The End.
Aside from modding, the voting system means nobody will get to see stuff that isn't majority-approved. There will always be 10 highly voted sjw comments on any news article and a graveyard of thousands of politically incorrect opinions.
The heavy policing happens on subs where these opinions are actually upvoted like europe, most of the time they end up deleting almost every comment and locking the thread lol
4chan is anonymous so users are allowed to express unpopular opinions.
This appeals to conservatives/republicans because we're generally not allowed to express our views.
>>76057758
>go on r/The_Donald
>liberals downvoted

>>76057537
I also neglected to mention that a lot of the posters there are likely leftovers from Gamergate with an ax to grind against shitlibs in general.
We don't have a voting system (you could argue saging a thread is "downvoting", but its not the same), so unlike reddit, unpopular or unothrodox ideas are allowed to manifest, hence why in the long term, we will drift rightward, since thought policing is a cornerstone of the left.
>>76056258
Reddit is heavily censored so only mainstream opinions show up. 4chan is uncensored so people with outside opinions flock here. Liberalism is mainstream right now so reddit is liberal.
>>76056258
Censorship.
It's the ultimate goal of liberals.

>This entire thread.

Okay? So /pol/ users can post on reddit, and reddit users can post on 4chan. Why in the fuck is reddit left and 4chan right?
I mean, it's so clearly obvious that you can make a successful right-wing sub that consistently hits the front page. Why did it turn out one way and not the other?
>>76057973
>(you could argue saging a thread is "downvoting", but its not the same)
Saging does jack shit. It's nothing like downvoting.
>>76056344
this is just about right. reddit isn't proud of their political stance but it definitely has an express desire to be socially relevant. 4chan doesnt care
>>76056938
can you not fucking do this? no one cares this much about your god damn opinion
>>76057378
Reddit was also popular first and foremost by the middle-upper class leftist. I would say for the case of reddit the siteowners tried to contain the right wing encirclement (hence the closing of certain subreddits) while for the case of 4chan /pol/-/new/ was left mostly alone. Moot also said /pol/ was a containment board for more than once. So maybe that was his defense, let them stay in one place rather than suppressing them everywhere.
It kinda worked, hence you get back to /pol/ memes.
>>76057505
I disagree, though I can't prove anything but call it a personal bias. Few things
-Most of the old demographic left, except for few autistic folk. So I don't buy into "old leftists kids changing their minds", surely there are some but 9 out of ever 10 right winger must be new blood that came after 2010.
-In early 2000s, 4chan dominated the internet way better than today, due to the lack of other sites. Besides SA-4chan there were only few obsure boards with few thousand members at best. no tumblr, no reddit your best bet would be in some obscure fanfic page or becoming a gaiafag.
There were not enough places for middle-upper class folk to hang out, hence 4chan was a big fish in a small pond. nowadays tumblr-reddit is the place to go if you are a young urbanite kid. If you don't believe me take a loot at how tumblr-reddit et al suprassed 4chinz in alexa ranking.
-I don't buy into "we are still middle-upper class" talk, nope especially in places like this when Ivy school discussions get 5-10 responses at best while tradeschool threads reach bump limit. Nothing wrong with being a plumber or anything but there is definitely a demo graphical shift
Lastly I don't buy into "it was hip to insult dubya then" meme. Again I will say this with utmost confidence, hardly anyone (I mean the majority;) will mock Trump if he become president, "gop ruled then we mock them, democrats rule now, we mock them, whoever rules next we'll mock them" is bull

Sure, you can make new accounts, but most people like to keep their old accounts. Especially after having them for years.
But you're right. I don't think I entirely agree with what I said now.
Thinking about it, I think I might say:
1. 4chan lacks a voting system. Posts aren't seen because other people liked them. In fact, more controversial, hard hitting posts are seen more often because they get more replies.
2. 4chan is pretty lawless. You're really free to say anything, meaning people who think/say things that most people would dislike will tend to gravitate to it.
3. 4chan is anonymous. You'll never be punished or hated for saying something unpopular. Post and forget.
>>76057821
Exactly. The up-vote-downvote/my post >your post does not work for beneficial discourse.It hides "bad" opinions and favors "good" ones.
I think you're trying to make us critically think which can't happen on Reddit if views are not to be challenged.
>>76057006
>How is liberalism "mainstream"? The House and the Senate are both Republican controlled.
Two reasons.
1) Liberals are worse at voting because they're usually young young people are worse at democracy. Case in point: Trump's very children failed to register in time.
2) The mainstream is still liberal because media is primarily liberal.
3) >>76057132

Because you can't speak the truth on Reddit; people can piece together your history and potentially ID you. Plus the downvoted system keeps all but the politest opinions at bay. Combine the two, and most people play PC cuz peer pressure.

>>76056258
It's pretty simple really.
When the average conservative interacts with a liberal, he may argue, may use insults, but that's usually about it.
When the average liberal interacts with a conservative, he demands nothing less than for the conservative to be silenced.
This results in most forms of social media to slowly become liberal.(assuming they weren't run by liberals to begin with) 4chan, however, allows anonymity, and most boards are more loosely policed than the average social media. This makes it harder for the liberal to silence the conservative.

I'd agree that it's easier to get around or mask yourself to an extent on Reddit but it's also easy to track someone and silence them as well. I know how that sounds but tidbits of personal information (metadata even) and eventually you'll make a mistake.
If you want to silence someone here in a thread you more or less need to drown them out with a concerted effort to see some results.

>Why is Reddit Liberal and 4chan Conservative?
4Chan isn't conservative. It's racist and sexist, which means that there are certain liberal policies that 4Chan that help its racist bend (Freedom of Speech, pornography, etc) and there are certain conservative policies it likes (anti-immigration, traditional gender roles, etc).
I'm a conservative and actually worked in the last election when we got our asses handed to us. Trust me, regular conservatives are NOT represented on 4chan.

This is a big part of it.
Reddit distinguishes between "good" and "bad" behavior with their voting system. "Good" behavior is rewarded, and "bad" behavior is punished.
4chan only measures the quality of a post in the size of the reaction it generates, with no distinction between good or bad. An epic shitpost is the same as as incredibly profound statement or useful infograph.
>>76059389
Yep, and that is why I hate open border Libertarians like Gary Johnson almost even more than lefties, because they dont seem to understand that as soon as a high IQ white society dissolves its state it would probably be eaten up by other aggressive states within a month or infiltrated and slowly annexed.

The answer is obvious. Reddit operates on self-censorship, group-think strong moderation and uses an identity. 4chan operates on anonymity and lax moderation. That's why /pol/ turned out the way it did. Why /news/ turned out the way it did. And why /n/ turned out the way it did long before the majority of /pol/ users even browsed this website.
If Reddit suddenly adopted anonymity, lax moderation, and eliminated the upvote/downvote system. The same thing would happen there.

You do realize people in general were talking about this stuff for much much longer. There are episodes on WKRP in Cincinnati (1970's) for example about gay rights and drugs. It's been in pop culture for over half a century.
Trump is the most popular option because all other options have been status quo. This includes the Libertarian Party. Open borders Johnson (closet democrat) if you watch his debates and answers on shows exudes stupidity and ignorance. Weld his VP pick may be for fund raising but by whom and at what cost? They were easily supplanted by neocons and the likes of the Koch brothers. Globalists. Democrats don't silence their fringe as much as the old conservative right did. They keep their fringe on standby. They believe words are worse than actual human suffering and death. They are no different than the old right as both were run by neocons (hillary/obama/bush).

It does feel that way. If you note the centrist or moderate candidates on the Democrat side this year were Webb and maybe Chafee or OMalley. Republican side had Trump. Despite the news and slant he's essentially a moderate.

4chan wasn't always conservative.
But since this is a anonymous site this allows people to either state ironic political views, or their true views without fear of being called out and harassed.
Reddit has user names, user names are a identity. If you state something against the popular grain you will be hounded for it.
This fear induced situation means everyone has to tow the party line or else be caste out and banned.

reddit is all the losers growing up who couldnt handle people calling them fags and subscribe to a hugbox where everyones the same and they throat each others cocks.
4chan is a bunch of losers who decided to say fuck everyone and espouse their beliefs without fear. while masturbating to waifus

You really need to ask this?
Reddit is ran by the jew.
We have named the jew.
Reddit rewards virtue signalling in form of upboats and Karma.
Trying to be as liberal and progressive as possible wont earn you anything on 4chan.
Semi-related thread with an actually decent discussion about 2006 4chan vs 2016 4chan and how the site went from being fairly progressive to almost entirely far-right: https://desustorage.org/r9k/thread/28856352/
As for 4chan vs. Reddit: one has mass-censorship and the other does not. The admins of Reddit ban anything they disagree with, and that means many of the views associated with the far-right or generally anything that offends their delicate sensibilities. Censorship allows the """"correct"""" opinions to thrive and dissenting opinions to be removed or mass-downvoted by brigades from left-wing extremists like SRS so that no one will ever see them. Without all the censorship, Reddit wouldn't be nearly so far left. I don't know if it would be conservative, but it wouldn't have such an extreme bias.
As for why 4chan is so conservative; the thread above delves into that pretty well.

Huh..
Reddit is a safe space where people downvote all unpopular ideas. Meaning there is less free flow of ideas.
Nothing is banned from speaking on /pol/. Not even big black arab cocks raping tight Swedish pussy. Meaning we don't have censorship and ideas as irrational as killing all Jews can be discussed. And when free thought tends to be allowed, you have conservative principals. The free market is as simple as leave other people alone. That's such a basic concept that doesn't get discussed that often in lebbit
